training day: last one before Ireland

location: Badger State Trail from Monticello south
distance: 3.91 miles
gear used: iPhone, Camelback water pack
audible entertainment: The Name of the Wind, chapters 44-46.

last chance for a hike before we leave for Ireland! timing of the rest of our evening meant we only had time for a short hike, just over an hour, though with how warm and buggy the walk proved anything much longer and we would have melted and/or been carried off by mosquitoes. catching up on The Name of the Wind made the time go quite speedily. we have the sequel, A Wise Man's Fear, ready to listen to while in Ireland -- we'll have to be sure not to get so engrossed in the story that we don't appreciate all we see in hiking the Dingle peninsula!
